> I am having the same problem Fei is/did. I don't see 'the little yellow square with crosshairs icon' I see, and I am guessing she does too, an icon identical to the create table icon form guide. Though after guide had been open for a while those icons, and functionality, did change to what you are talking about.

I just solved this problem. First you define a matrix or cell in workspace with the dimension same as the table you want to creat. for instance, you want creat a 2 by 2 table, you define a 2 by 2 cell, a = {1,2;3;4}. Then creat a uitable, and then go to "Data" property in the Property Inspector, select "Change data value to the selected workspace variable below", then select the data you just created. Then you can go to row, and delete the extra row you don't want, and apply, you will get a 2 by 2 table.
